## Caption

A rare super blue moon rose over Kansas City last night — about 15% larger and 30% brighter than the moon we usually see at night. 

Earth’s original satellite put on a show rising over the city’s skyline starting at 8:06 p.m. It began with a deep orange glow which shifted closer to gold as it climbed higher in the perfectly clear sky. 

This was the third and final supermoon of the year.
